The Region’s ITS Vision
The Region will use Intelligent Transportation Systems to provide cost-effective and practical technologies that enhance the safety, capacity, operations and evaluation of the area's modes of transportation.
The Region’s ITS Goals1. Integrate efficient and effective ITS into the Region’s
transportation planning and project development.2. Improve information sharing among the region’s
transportation agencies and with the public.3. Increase the safety and security of all modes of
transportation through improved infrastructure monitoring and emergency management.
4. Improve the utilization of existing facilities and infrastructure.5. Improve the ability to evaluate and measure the
performance of the transportation network through the effective use of technology.
Today’s Objectives
• Define Intelligent Transportation Systems and their applications.
• Discuss how the region currently uses ITS.• Learn what your transportation needs are. • Share how stakeholders can stay involved in
this project.

What Is an ITS Architecture?
• Framework for Integrating Transportation Systems • Identifies:
• Organizations• Systems Operated • Functions Performed• Communications• Information Exchanged
ITS Architectures Provide a Framework for Integration

Why Build an ITS Architecture?
• To structure the region’s technology plans.• To avoid redundancy in systems.• To ensure cost-effective technology deployment.• To identify opportunities to share information.• To satisfy federal requirements for ITS expenditures.
What Is the Stakeholder Role?
• Represent groups who operate and use the transportation network.• All modes, all travel purposes
• Identify the Region’s needs.• Breakout exercise
• Identify strategies to address those needs.• Follow-up discussion

Breakout Groups
Exercise #1 – Mark Up the Maps• Black Marker for Trucking and Freight.• Red Marker for Congestion at
Intersections and Corridors.• Blue Marker for Bicycle, Pedestrian and
Transit.• Green Marker for Weather-related and/or
Construction Issues.
Exercise #1 – Mark Up the Maps• Spend 30 minutes marking map with
issues.• Spend 10 minutes using post-it notes to
identify the locations that could most benefit from ITS.
